Minerals

“The wallcovering collection "Minerals" of Omexco consists of mica and glassbeads.Mica or “vermiculite” is a mineral formed out of a chemical reaction between quartz and granite. Exposed to extreme heat, the mineral expands into worm-like pieces 2000 or even 3000 % of their original size, in a spectrum of brilliant colours. The characteristics of this mineral have been known in Japan for 6 centuries. Mica is also known as “strange stone”, “breathing stone” or “miracle stone”. After the mica has been heat-expanded, it is crushed into small pieces and stuck on a non-woven backing. Finally, the surface is coloured.”

Brocades

“"Brocades" are richly decorated woven fabrics, often made in coloured silks and adorned with gold or silver threads. The name comes from the Italian word "broccato", meaning "embossed cloth". The ornamental brocading is produced by a supplementary, non-structural weft in addition to the standard weft, thus creating an appearance of embroidery.The designs of Omexco’s wallcovering collection "Brocades" seem to have been embroidered on the silky rayon yarns. In fact, they are printed, sometimes with, sometimes without metallic foil. The printing technique, and the delicate yarns (which are partly matt, partly shiny) create a subtle textile/weaving effect.Classic designs (damasks, stripes, flowers) alternate with a geometric art deco design, and a timeless simili-plain.All colours are elegant and sophisticated : jade, silver, frost white, pearl grey, anthracite, cappuccino, verdigris, chalk, french rose, vanilla, bronze, champagne, platina.”

Zephyr

“The most precious yarns were selected for this collection of luxurious wallcovering : silk, horsehair and linen.Horsehair - Horsehair is a fascinating fibre, which has for centuries been woven by craftsmen throughout the world. It has stood the test of time thanks to its natural beauty and durability. The undyed colours and specific texture of horsehair will bestow authentic luxury and prestige to your interior.Linen - Flax, the plant used to make linen, is inherently ecological: it requires no irrigation, it is biodegradable, and every part of the plant has value. Belgian linen has a superior quality due to the unique climate and the expertise of many generations of weavers. Local production makes it possible to continuously improve the technical and aesthetic qualities of this timeles fabric.Silk - The most precious and luxurious natural fibre amongst all, silk, has been desired and treasured since ancient times.

Illusions

“Rayon yarns soft as silk; metallic reflections which are printed but seem woven… this range of textile wallcovering by Omexco plays with structures and effects – and the illusion seems to become reality…A wide range of bright colours brings the collection to life : sparkling shades like fuchsia, tangerine, sunny yellow, anise green, turquoise with a touch of silver – more subdued colours such as khaki, night blue, hazy grey – and finally soft and soothing touches of cream, snow white, ivory, azure… Natural tone-on-tone references alternate with items enhanced with metallic accents of white or yellow gold – or silver.”

Haiku

“A “Haiku” is a term created by the poet Shiki Masaoka (1867-1902); it is a very short and stylized form of Japanese poetry, characterized by a “seasonal reference”, mostly drawn from nature, represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas, separated by a “cutting”.The name “Haiku” suits Omexco’s wallcovering collection very well, since it “reads as a poem”.Paper strings on non-woven backing are combined with rayon textile warps and with plain non-woven wallcovering. A light pearlescent shimmer enhances all references.The different materials in this collection make it possible to combine structures and matching colours, in order to create an interior setting full of variety whilst retaining a “zen” feel.The colours are delicate and are graduated in very subtle shades – touches of pearl grey and ivory alternate with golden straw and greige. Silver and fresh grey-green illuminate darker and deeper colours such as anthracite and bronze.”

On the Rocks

“The name of this Omexco collection of printed non-woven wallcovering can be interpreted in two ways :The collection is built around the theme of stone and wood effects/textures - and the wide range of lively and natural colours are supposed to bring you in the right mood to relax.The designs of the collection remind nature, and nature/our environment were permanently on our mind when we developed “On the Rocks”. The products obtained an ecological label (they meet the ecological standards of IGI, international wallcovering association), an FSC® label (licence code C001706), they are manufactured with recycled fibres, and printed thanks to solar energy.The colours bring you from the forests to the mountains, with subtle shades of natural rock, stone and marble – foliage green, oak, mahogany, sandalwood, white birch… And you’ll cross a few lakes, a clear blue one, during the day, and a mysteriously dark one, at twilight…”

Allure

“By its charm and elegant refinement, the collection “Allure” seduces at first sight.The inspiration for the designs is classic, but the colour scheme and the (over-)size of some patterns confer a surprisingly contemporary look to the textile wallcoverings.Damasks in different interpretations, whirling curls, stripes, a silky plain and a metallic all-over effect are declined in shades of cream, beige, amber, anthracite, dark olive, scarlet, nutmeg, frosty white, mauve, bronze, pearl. Some patterns are enhanced by gold and silver, embossed on the textile yarns.The combination of printing and embossing techniques, as well as the use of matt printing colours, silky yarns, sparkling metallic effects result in wonderful light reflections and delicate trompe-l’oeil-effects.”

Horizons

“Omexco was the first editor who had the idea to present the samples of wallcovering horizontally in the pattern books, and to recommend horizontal installation (or “railroad hanging”).A horizontal installation opens up new perspectives, allows new ways of decorating, creates different and stunning visual results...The new Omexco collection “Horizons” combines linen yarns, printed rayon yarns, chenille yarns, and dyed matt/shiny yarns.A large variety of textile yarns, each with specific characteristics and aspects. The rather “rough” and matt linen, the printed rayon yarn with subtle tone-on-tone shades and silky touch, the soft and luxurious chenille, the dyed matt/shiny yarn reflecting the light with varying intensity.Each material is available in a rainbow of colours: scarlet and wine red - golden and sunny yellow, straw and abaca - cream and clay - mint, anise and jade green - quartz pink and mother-of-pearl - smoky and misty grey and pearl - night blue, blueberry and limestone - deep indigo and turquoise - lavender and amethyst.”

Nomad

“The collection Nomad of Omexco invites you to travel throughout the world from season to season, crossing natural and colourful equatorial forests, blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, golden deserts, earthy and burgundy tundra, silent and white siberian taiga.Waterlily leaves are woven in lively and generous colours: emerald green, yellow gold, wine-red, turquoise, frozen white, lustrous chestnut and ebony, Baikal charoite. The matching non-woven wallcoverings sometimes evoke arid textures of dry earth, swept by gusts of wind. Sometimes, smoother and enhanced with metallic effects, they reflect the light of new landscapes arising at the horizon before the eyes of the marvelling nomad, and suddenly the red, gold, lapis lazuli shades... sparkle with light.”

Jungle

“Abundant nature, explosive colours, stylized tiger motifs... this time it was the jungle which inspired the new wallcovering collection of Omexco.Mosaics of bakbak (bark of the banana plant) have been composed in tone-on-tone shades of beetle blue/green, tropical wood, hibiscus red, equatorial haze, milky coconut white... Once the theme set, delicate weaves of natural fibres (sisal and jute) are added, in matching tropical colours: liane and eucalyptus green, colours of the bird of paradise: bright orange and violet, pastel lilac and purple of wild orchids, pomegranate, mango, blue and amber crystal of butterflies, tiger or jaguar yellow and black... These different materials can be perfectly combined. Some sisal items are printed with a tiger motif, and the jungle comes to life...”

Nashira

““Nashira” is one of the stars of the Capricornus constellation. Arab astronomers gave it this name, which means “messenger of good news”... As if blown by a gentle breeze, light tree leaves, sisal fibres and vegetal motifs swirl throughout this new wallcovering collection of Omexco, promising a bright and natural interior setting, a zen cosiness to make you feel welcome – pure happiness...The lead product of this collection is a weave, made by craftsmen, of strips of coloured paperboard, strewn with leaves of the soursop tree, scattered by the wind.

Shalimar

“Like the gardens of Shalimar, near Lahore (Pakistan), the wallcovering collection Shalimar of Omexco took inspiration from the fusion of arab and persian influences. As a substrate for these wallcoverings, Omexco has chosen rayon warps, twined in a subtle way, thus creating a weave effect. The yarns on non-woven backing are available either plain, in a wide range of colours, or printed with ornamental motifs of oriental influence, floral designs, delicate moiré effects, faded stripes.Some references in the collection are nonwoven based wallcoverings covered with glass pearls, adding lustre to the colours of the textile wallcoverings, and increasing the precious and luxurious look of the collection.The wide range of colours clearly refers to Moghol art, sublimated by persian red, curcuma yellow, arab blue, ottoman turquoise. The collection Shalimar will bring a touch of oriental luxury and refinement to your interior decoration.”

Elixir

“An elixir is a mixture of spices, herbs and fruits, which are brewed into a potion according to a secret recipe, which gives this potion a magic character…Thanks to a sophisticated embossing technique of different non-woven layers, combined with metallic effects, the design and production team of Omexco managed to create subtle changeant effects, which, as if by magic, make the designs appear and then again disappear, transforming the colours.The fern motif, printed and embossed in tone-on-tone shades, forms the link with herbs and nature. Small circles, infinitely repeated, and swirling lacework designs are matched with a simili-plain item, delicate and light-reflecting, in many iridescent shades of edelweiss white, peony pink, fern green, buttercup yellow, poppy red, copper lilac, bright fuchsia, blueberry, violet, lavender, absynthe, cornflower...”

Cobra

“Snake designs are sliding through this new wallcovering collection of Omexco, hence called “Cobra”. Most items of the collection are printed on natural cork. The cork is harvested manually from the bark of the cork oak, then cut into squares which are glued on a metallic backing. The squares are polished afterwards until they are perfectly smooth and flat, ready to be overprinted. Only specialized handcraft is involved in this elaborated production process. A simili-plain and a faded square motif, also printed on cork, are matching the reptile design. The range is complemented by bi-coloured woven raffia items as well as printed plains and reptile designs on a non-woven backing.All colours, from the brown-black tiger snake, white python, green copper chameleon, bark brown lizard, greyish crocodile, green water turtle, to the stained cobra are represented in the collection, most of them enhanced with a shimmer of gold, silver or copper, reflecting light and shimmering, as sunshine on a reptile skin.”
